If the design of the vehicle does not allow you to install a roof exhaust vent, install an upper side-
wall exhaust vent:
NOTE: The refrigerator is 23.75 in. min. to 24.05 in. max. from the rear of the breaker to the rear
of the condenser [22] and is 61.35 in. min. to 61.65 in. max. from the bottom of the
refrigerator to the bottom of the refrigerator condenser [23] (See Art01803).
- Install the upper side-wall exhaust vent [24] so that the distance [25] from the bottom of the
enclosure to the top of the rough opening for the upper exhaust vent is at least 71.0 inches
(See Art01803 and Art01806).
- Align the upper exhaust vent horizontally above the lower intake vent [9].
Install an Upper Side-Wall Exhaust Vent
If the enclosure depth is 26 inches or more (See Art01785):
- Install an angled top baffle [172] between the top rear edge of the refrigerator and the
inside edge of the upper exhaust vent opening.
- Make sure that the angled top baffle is less than 1/4 inch from the top of the
refrigerator.
- Make sure that the angled top baffle is no more than 45° from vertical [20].
- Install an inside corner baffle [173] between the outside edge of the upper exhaust
vent opening and the solid box baffle.
- Make sure that the inside corner baffle is approximately parallel to the angled top
baffle.
- Install a wood or an aluminum or galvanized sheet solid box baffle [21] in the rear of
the enclosure.
- Make sure that the bottom of the solid box baffle is 18 inches to 18 1/2 inches
above the bottom of the enclosure [17] (4 1/4 inches to 4 3/4 inches above the top
of the lower intake vent opening) [18] .
- Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is perpendicular to the bottom of the
enclosure.
- Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is either against the top of the
enclosure or against the inside corner baffle [173] (depending on the vehicle
design).
- Make sure that the solid box baffle is one inch or less from the coils [10] and
